Issue is the structure. If you give him 250k, other top players on the squad will demand the same.
Levy has a cap for wages which he set circa 2001, and which he doesn't adjust for inflation.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure
Marmoush, Ait-Nouri, Cherki, Reijndeers are all class imo
I'd like him to stay another season with us and then go back to play in South Korea.
A injury free and fully fit Sonny is still going to be excellent for us and with CL next season there are plenty of games.
It would be great to see him 1-2 more seasons in Europe- Spain or Italy I’m sure he could still light it up.
I too think they will be very good again- esp with fully rehabbed Rodri.
We have to roll with Big Dom- he’s done too well for us to cast aside, and we’ve already invested a considerable amount for him. Otherwise though I agree Osimhen at 250k on a free is a sneaky good deal.
Welcome to TFC
That's the guy who would elevate United and I'm hoping they are spooked off of it by it feeling too much like prior deals that didn't work out for them.
Osimhen would be an upgrade on almost any striker in the league. Genuinely insane we played him in Turkey last year.
Didn’t realize he was 20
I’ll have some Grealish with the Garnacho please.
Getting rid of Calum Davenport got rid of a huge stink at WHL.
So structure Osimhen's pay as a 20M signing on fee with a wage of 175k per week ...
Not rally how it works.
If we can do that what makes you think other clubs who pay more in general won't do the same thing albeit pay him a higher salary?
They might do - that’s not the point though, the post was in relation to keeping wages aligned internally not externally. The latter is out of our control, the former is our choice
You dont really think that. Most of them would walk into our starting 11
